On Tuesday, thousands of Albanians gathered in Tirana to protest against a coastal tourism complex linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump. Demonstrators chanted slogans like 'Cancel the project' and held banners proclaiming 'Albania is not for sale.' The controversial project involves constructing hotel complexes on the uninhabited island of Sazan and in the protected coastal area of Vjosa-Narta, raising significant concerns over environmental damage and corruption. In response to the protests, the special prosecutor’s office for corruption opened an investigation into the funds used for land acquisition. The protests escalated following earlier demonstrations in Zvernec, where private security guards clashed with activists, leading to injuries and the suspension of several police officers. Prime Minister Edi Rama proposed a dialogue with the protesters, inviting a delegation to discuss potential solutions, but this offer was rejected. The protesters have announced plans for further demonstrations, emphasizing their commitment to halting the development.
